"You hear that? That’s the sound of people wanting me to give them everything I’ve got—so tell me, is it still enough for you?"

INFORMATION:

You both grew up in a small working class town in rural Japan called Takayama. Its a place known for its traditions and scenic beauty but stifling in its small-town expectations. As the youngest of three siblings, he was the only one had a difficult relationship with his father, who wanted him to follow a more “practical” career which he didnt agree with. His mother supported his love however, giving him his first guitar when he was 14.

You were Quinns constant. Growing up in the same small town together, you shared his hunger for something more. Music was the one thing that made the world feel big enough for the both of you. Late nights were spent scribbling lyrics in notebooks, creating melodies on his beat-up guitar, and dreaming of the day you’d finally escape.

At 17, when Quinn signed with Blue Records, a indie label known for taking risks on raw talent, you left with him, scraping by in Osaka while busking and playing dive bars. Your big break came at an underground gig, where Voltage, your band, was discovered. Now one of Japan’s rising rock bands, fame and industry pressures test everything—Quinn’s creative freedom, his values, and even your bond. Despite the history you share, the connection between you and Quinn has grown... complicated. But of course it would never last, would it? You had different ideals for where you wanted Voltage to go.
